Okay . Adb is the cleanest way to this. But if you read the thread so many different ways to install.

Her one:

Instructions: 1. Wipe cache and Uninstall Maps and StreetView using Titanium Backup.

2. Using Root Explorer, copy maps5.3.1-ownhere.apk to /system/app. Forget the resign one (never worked for me)

3. Hold maps5.3.1-ownhere.apk for further options and choose Permissions.

4. Uncheck the entire Execute Column, and uncheck the second option in Write column.

Example: Read-------Write-------Execute

-o-----------o------------x-

-o-----------x------------x-

-o-----------x------------x-

5. Reboot the phone.

5. Done.. Now you should have Maps in the App Drawer.

diffrent but same solution; 1.settings..>applications...>manage applications...>all...>find locations and clear data...>find maps and clear data.. 2.install the remover software which is called system app remover... 3.run system app remover 4.click system apps 5.find and remove maps and locations. 6.and finally install maps5.3.1-ownhere-resign.apk...
[Android Apps and Games] mind_challenge:
It didn't work. Did everything like you wrote, rebooted but no maps in app drawer. I'm really confused now, I think I'll have to move to another ROM
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
Did you try adb?
[Android Apps and Games] khangozzy:
Hi stian230,

The link you translated in the first post is in Vietnamese, not Chinese.! :)
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
Yea sorry my bad. Going to fix it :)

Install it using adb was the only way that workt for me

Turn by turn sounds through BT device

Anyone using the navigation through a BT device? My BT car radio broadcasts the turn-by-turn sounds at a very low volume when a music app (i.e. winamp) is in the background. Just curious if others are experiencing the same thing.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
No turn-by-turn her. Sure you not activated talkback in settings?
[Android Apps and Games] mind_challenge:
No still didn't try ADB, but I will these days

I've tried this tutorial, got adb to work. I followed the tutorial in the first post, pushed the maps into system/app. Rebooted, but nothing happened. Checked with Root explorer, maps are in system/app but not installed on phone. Something is seriously wrong here. Maps worked on this ROM before, but after a hard reset they aren't, and another hard reset or flashing didn't help. I think I'm quitting from trying to get them to work.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
Does adb find your devise? . what phone you use?
[Android Apps and Games] mind_challenge:
It finds my device, displays serial and everything. It even pushed the mapps etc.apk in system/app like it was suposed to. I use LG GT540 Swift with CM 7.0

someone with	maps5.3.1-ownhere-resign-v2.apk version of Google maps was not suspicious calls or SMS in the accounts?
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
Try :

- Use TiBu to wipe data and uninstall google maps - Use root explorer to copy maps5.3.1-ownhere.apk (not resign) to system/app - Reboot

Works everytime

Lol. hope not
[Android Apps and Games] dj-:
I think you write err ADB command
[Android Apps and Games] mind_challenge:
Excuse me, but I said this numerous times by now. I did that first after a hard reset. I can't do it anymore, because there are no Google Maps installed, thus TiBu doesn't display them.

Edit: I've made it, finally. First i used Market Enabler, and downloaded Maps from market. After installing, i used TiBu to wipe data, and uninstall. Then I installed resign version, and now it works. Thanks everyone for trying to help.
[Android Apps and Games] Ambious:
I've been using this for a while, and loving it, but following a recent build update I get FC (force close) whenever I start navigating. Map itself works just fine, but when I enter navigation itself it force-closes itself.

Tried un/reinstalling several times using all known methods (which all work and install fine, but still FC when navigating).

I tried clear dalvik & fix permissions, naturally.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] dzumagos:
what is the difference between v2 and normal apk ? same question for resigned and normal apk ?
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
V2 is version 5.3.1 and normal is 5.2.1 .

The resign version you can update from market, put in /system/app and one you can't update put in /data/data
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
That's a bit strange . It works great for me no FC.
[Android Apps and Games] Andreas75k:
Thanks for this, now I don't have to search the asian forums trying to find the latest updates... :)
[Android Apps and Games] zepp3lin:
Can i rename the resign-apk to maps.apk and install together with a custom rom?
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
if you do it properly no problem.

I personally have resign maps 5.3.1 on titanium backup so I just need to uninstall original maps. Then restore resign mps
[Android Apps and Games] zepp3lin:
Will update later, I'm in process of upgrading to ARHD3.6 and change the original map to this ownhere version.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] xThe Enforcer:

[Android Apps and Games] armanisafarai:
umm what's the difference between this and normal maps? because i didnt notice anything different.
[Android Apps and Games] zepp3lin:
Ok it work flawlessly inside the Custom Rom ARHD3.6. Rename it to Maps.apk and flash it together with the new rom.:)
[Android Apps and Games] CtapukaH:
Is there any advantage to be had compared to a navigation app like Copilot or Tomtom?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] auldthief:
Cool! used the Titanium Backup method. Had to restart as the phone was giving FCs for Maps. But works sweetly now! Full Voice navigation for me now! I tell my phone (via google voice search/actions) to navigate to home and it gives me directions with voice! Trust XDA peeps to bring the google back in android! XD-Yay! Now only thing left to find is how to use offline maps (whole city, not cache of places visited) stored on SD card with google maps! So I can get rid of the slow-map-loading-thingy! I'm sure someone's working on that right now! Any one knows if that's possible yet?
[Android Apps and Games] dzumagos:
exactly, is it possible to download maps and save them to our SD card as it was possible on old brut-mod release 4.xx ???
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
This has enabled the navigation so anyone can use it :confused:

..... as I have written in my first post.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
This is the Google navigation integrated into google maps with all the services google has to offer.

Sorry no ofline nav.
[Android Apps and Games] zepp3lin:
The maps is exactly a google map and definitely you wont notice anything. But it contains an extra Turn By Turn Navigation with voice guided. You need to navigate an address to activate it or go to the Blue Navi Arrow icon to start the navigation straight away.

One advantage over other common GPS map is that Google is very detail and that is what I like - Cool Yeah!
[Android Apps and Games] dj-:
Finally i got the language going thanks Stian230. Happy holyday.
[Android Apps and Games] Racle90:

as long as you go to root permission to go for it.

tip of the day
[Android Apps and Games] tanjinjack:
Hi,

I am new to using GPS (LOL..).

Do I need any data in between my route for navigation purpose? Or it will all be done via the GPS connection?
[Android Apps and Games] aiming:
Thks!!!

It's working!!!

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
It needs some data connection to download the route but nothing special more
[Android Apps and Games] tanjinjack:
I don't have a data connection. So, if I have WiFi during me defining my route, then after the route is picked, I won't need any more internet right?

(Of course, if I need to change route - that's another story.)
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
I think so. but is not 100% sure have not tried with no data
[Android Apps and Games] BoSib:
After deleting stock Maps and Street View with Root Explorer and even forgetting to delete data, it works like charm!

[Android Apps and Games] e654777:

[Android Apps and Games] andreit0:
odd... when i try to install it it says application not installed and i followed the instructions
[Android Apps and Games] e654777:
I believe you have read the instruction pretty carefully.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
It sounds like you haven't uninstall maps and street veiw properly. Double checked .
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
I've checked it,but I can't find anything malish.

The difference in this apk compare to the

original maps it only script as I can see.

But who knows?

Are you experiencing something suspicious ????
[Android Apps and Games] fdeferia:
Same thing happened to me following all the steps above and i solved by going to the android app manager and uninstalling google maps and street view which remained in the list (occupying 0 kb) despite of having been wiped out and uninstalled with titanium backup.
[Android Apps and Games] czesiu:
no I never did

(at the moment I don't even have it installed)

It was easier to trust the app when it was created by someone active in XDA forums:)
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
Odd. So even after you uninstall with TitB

you could see traces of it in app manager. . Taking 0 kb .

Hmm That's a good tip . .

I had no idea about ADB, and tried the following in Terminal Emulator

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

busybox cp <file location to move> <where to move it>

this was after backing up original maps. then wiping data and uninstalling it. with the lines above I managed to copy the apk to system/app and after a reboot navigation is working in turkey and I read

Version: 5.3.1-ownhere (#5311) gmm-android-motorola

the last line would be

busybox cp /mnt/sdcard/maps5.3.1-ownhere-v2.apk /system/app

and you can reboot from terminal emulator with the following

Hi this might be useful to someone.

I have a S-On desire S and i was able to activate Navigation using this Hack.

Get a temp root using Gingerbreak 1.2 and then follow the steps for this apk, instead of push which makes no difference as after a restart it will be undone, i directly installed using adb.

It works for me maybe other might also get lucky:)

Having trouble installing this on a rooted phone. Wiped Maps/Streetview cache with TB, then the actual programs. Cleared dalvik cache, and the apps don't show up in anywhere anymore.

But when I tried installing the resigned .apk, the install doesn't finish. And if I adb push the file to /system/app, the file is copied successfully, but even after restarting the phone Maps doesn't show up anywhere. The file is indeed in /system/app, but absolutely nothing seems to happen.

Edit: eh, got it working. Tried AndroidControl and it installed the .apk nicely. Apparently I did something majorly wrong before.

In order to install the map you need to remove streetview and maps also... Mike, the developer of Android Revolution Rom tried to put the modified map in the zipped rom and it didn't work so it will unlikely work doing a zip file for it.

If titanium method does not work for you, I recommend strongly to use ADB.
